It's been seven months since I've done an installment into the "Would Love to Shoot" blog series, here on the Soles of Silk Blog. For those of you who might not be familiar with these, this series looks at foot models from the online foot fetish community whose work I enjoy. I thought it would make for a nice gesture to give these models a little shout out, if you will, and go into a little detail on what it is that I enjoy their work. These are women I'd love to find in front of my camera one day, and in some instances, a number of the models found in past entries have gone on to do just that.In no way are these blogs saying I will be meeting these women, or that they'd even want to shoot with me. In many instances, I haven't even talked with the models. I just enjoy her work and the fanboy in me thinks it would be awesome to shoot photos of her and her beautiful feet.For this particular installment, I'm keeping the models to women from Instagram. This is the second time that I've done this, but I've become fans of so many foot models on "IG" that I wanted to showcase a few of them again. So here it is, three foot models from Instagram that I would just love to shoot!

Oh Kaori! I've been a fan of hers for a very long time - well, as far as my life on Instagram goes. Naturally, many of you know that I have a major soft spot for Asian women, so I took to Kaori immediately. Her feet and fun loving attitude just got to me and I am always looking forward to her next post.I have to say, if you love Instagram foot models who post a lot of photos/video of their feet, then Kaori deserves a follow immediately! It seems like she's always sitting down and sticking her feet out for her fans to enjoy. I have even watched a few of her live streaming videos and just watched in awe as her little toes wiggled away.My interactions with Kaori are rather limited. She's thanked me a number of times for my compliments on her photos. She's always polite and I bet she'd be down to earth and fun loving if I ever had the honor of shooting photos of her myself. I don't know where this beauty lives, but I sure wish I'd find myself crossing paths with her, my camera in hand, and her feet bare towards me.

The DM's of Instagram - a haven for dick pics, messages I can't even begin to understand, and trolls. Then there's Miss Michele. Just this week I see the little red icon showing that I have some DM's. "Oh boy," I thought to myself. Then I see the name MissMichelle_FlirtyFeet. I opened it, not knowing who this person is, and I see the following message, which I hope she doesn't mind me sharing here, "Hi there. I just came across your page and I immediately clicked follow. Awesome photos and energy." Wow! A compliment from, at this point, a random woman. I was taken back. I clicked her icon and went to her page. What I saw was a fun loving looking woman who just seems to genuinely enjoy showing off her feet. And man, those feet look so soft, with deep arches, and plump toes. I clicked follow myself, replied to her message, and went back to swooning over her feet. They really are so damn adorable!From that day on we've been exchanging DM's on a daily basis. I quickly realized just how positive Miss Michele is. So many compliments and questions about what I do. We've had some great conversation thus far and even talked about shooting together.I've only been to her region where she lives twice, but a nice little vacation would be welcome! I think having her and her adorable feet as a part of that trip, if not the main focus, would be awesome! I sure know I'd love to see her on my model roster page with lots and lots of updates. Guess that would mean regular vacations?

OK, here is a model I knew nothing about until my friend and regular model, Alice (@alice__elevens), shared her page with me. Alice has been eager to learn more about foot fetishism and when she made her Instagram account, she began looking around. She found The Witchy Miss and then she told me how much she loves her look and photos. I checked her out and have been a fan ever since too.For the same reasons I've always found Alice beautiful, I also find The Witchy Miss beautiful. She has her own look and just seems confident with the fetish. I find that so appealing and my gaze quickly focuses on her when I see any new post from her account. One of her recent videos was just amazing, yet so simple! For many of us foot fetishist, it doesn't take much. Of course, you have those picky bastards, but that's with anything in life. I, myself, can just appreciate those little things - and she does those well! It's hard to describe really. Almost like she's tempting you, but barely doing a thing. She just knows you love it and barely has to try. That's the best description I can think of.I've left a few comments on The Witchy Miss' posts, but we've never really talked. Regardless, I'm a fanboy and love what she does and hope to keep seeing her posting all new photos and videos of those smooth looking soles. Just wish I could see them in person, with my camera in hand. And hey, maybe even have Alice in a set with her. After all, if it wasn't for her, who knows how long it would have taken me to find this beauty?

Monday, August 7, 2017

Earlier this week I texted Mindee and told her that I'd like to get in a shoot sometime soon, even if it was just a set or two. She told me she had a few hours Sunday evening and would be down to shoot. I told her I was open and we finalized the details.On Saturday, while texting Mindee to confirm that we were still on, I ended up reaching Emerald. She was using Mindee's phone and asked if I had any free time for her to shoot on Sunday too. Since Mindee wasn't free until the evening, I told her yes. It's been three years since we last shot. You best bet I was going to make some time for her. We agreed to meet up at 11 a.m. so we could shoot whatever we could before Mindee was free. And the plan was to shoot a set with Mindee when she was ready to go later on. We'd wrap up the evening with a set or two of Mindee solo. That's exactly how Sunday went too. I love when a plan comes together!Emerald and I ventured off to a waterfront location for the first two sets of the day. After parking the car I showed her some of the socks and shirts I had brought with me, if she wanted to use them. She took a liking to the thigh high socks with the hot pink stripes. It matched the pink on her shirt perfectly. Emerald put them into her bag and grabbed a few other outfits too. We were then on our way down to the water.

It was great having Emerald shoot again. It had been 3 years since her last shoot.

We started the first set of the day with Emerald laying out on the pier. Those long socks sure did stick out with her dark shirt and jean shorts. I had her show them off quite a bit before even starting to pull them off. I figured you sock fans out there would enjoy having those shots before seeing her get barefoot. Eventually, however, those long socks would find their way onto the pier. Emerald was then showcasing those lovely size 7 feet of hers that I fell in love with back in 2012, when I took her first photos.Even though it had been three years since her last shoot, Emerald hadn't missed a beat. We wasted no time, except for when we paused for me to do a fun photo of me rubbing her feet. The sole intent, pun intended, of this photo was to piss off Mindee. She adores my foot rubs, but was busy helping family with some errands at the time. We figured she'd be at least slightly jealous it wasn't her feet getting the attention. She didn't seem too mad though. Guess she knew she had one waiting for her when she was finally free.After the first set, we walked back up to land, and over to a small overlook area. It was rather private, so we thought getting in a baby oil set would work out nicely. Emerald had never done one to that point, so I told her I'm sure some of her fans would love to see it. She was all for it, so she sat down and we were underway once again.

Emerald's soles were so slick. I know because I rubbed them after the shoot.

I had Emerald do a number of shots without the baby oil to begin. I always like to show the application a little ways into the set so you can see the difference in shine and slickness versus her plain, bare feet. Believe me, once she began pouring it on, it became quite evident too. They were so slippery!Again, the photos in this set flew by. I looked down and saw the photo count rise to about where I like for my sets' number to be. We did a few more, just in case shots, to be sure they'd all be usable photos. In all honesty, I figured I didn't need them. I just liked the sight of Emerald's oiled feet that much, so why not take a few more? When this set was done, I went ahead and put my camera down. I pulled out a towel for Emerald, but first, I was rubbing those slippery soles. My fingers and hands flew over them with ease. Emerald sure didn't seem to mind as we just chatted for a bit. Eventually, however, we had to get on our way. We weren't sure when Mindee would be ready and we had some more sets to get in.For our third set, we left the waterfront area and went to a sports and recreation facility. They have countless ball fields for all kinds of sports. We made our way over to some stands to shoot a favorite theme of mine - sneakers without socks!

The shoes Emerald brought with her for this set were red and black. I loved them! I knew they'd stand out nicely in photos. I can't remember if I've ever shot someone with red sneakers all these years. Well, not with this much red, that is.Emerald began the set showing off her feet in the shoes and then went on a slow shoe removal that I didn't want to stop shooting! Every little tug of a shoelace, pop out of a heel, or sniff of her own shoes, just made this set one I can't wait to publish. Funny thing is, I had thought the same about the two sets we had just shot too. This was turning out to be an amazing day. And we weren't done yet!While we were wrapping up this set, Mindee told us that she might not be done until around 5 p.m. Since we were making great time, we decided to go ahead and shoot a fourth set and then figure out what to do from there.We left the sports complex and went to a nature center. We wandered through the woods and found our way out to a small seating area in the middle of the marsh. There were so many cattails you couldn't even see the river at all. We heard people canoeing past us, but we never once saw them. I guess that was good though as Emerald needed a quick change into her dress and some of the most colorful heels I've ever shot.

Emerald was excited to have her colorful shoes in this set.

The heels you see in the lower portion of the photo above were ones Emerald was eager to use in a set. I loved them when she showed me a picture of them the night before, so I told her to bring them. These shoes just might make it into another set too. I don't want to give details about that set yet, as it will be huge news, if it happens. I also don't want to promise something and it not come to be either. Believe me, if it does happen, you'll love it and I'll be showcasing it all over social media, the site, and the blog.We began the fourth set with some standing shots. I wanted to capture her feet pressed into those shoes in the most natural of ways. She spun around in a few different poses and then it was over to the nearby bench. Once there it was time to pull off those shoes and dangle them from her dainty toes.It was during this set when one of the strangest of things happened. We saw what looked like a butterfly, or moth of some sort, flying around. Within seconds of spotting it, it landed on Emerald's foot. I took a couple of photos, trying not to scare it away. Scare was NOT something this little flying critter did, however. We couldn't keep this thing away! It landed on Emerald's shoes, her feet a few times, and then went and sat on my camera. When I tried to move it so he'd fly off, he'd just fly right to wherever I put it. it was crazy!Eventually we wrapped up the set and our butterfly/moth friend went and found something else to do, albeit, like 10 minutes later. Mindee, however, still needed some time. Since neither Emerald or I had eaten all day, we some time to go eat and shop before finally catching up with Mindee. For what happened when these two got together again, read, "Sunday's Shoot, Part 2 - Emerald & Mindee."

This blog is a follow up to, "Sunday's Shoot, Part 1 - Emerald." Be sure to give that a read to see how this entire day turned out.Now that Emerald and I had eaten, we went to go pick up Mindee for what was supposed to be a video game themed set. A certain new console/handheld combo, that features a popular cartoonish racing game, was the theme. However, our location wasn't lending itself to what I had envisioned, so after about six photos, we decided to do something else. Don't worry, my nerdy gamer friends... That set will be done by these two at a later date, probably indoors.

Watching these two pull off their socks was so teasing.

Since we had gone back to the sports and recreation center for this set, we decided to change up our theme and match the sporty look of the area. I grabbed some over the knee socks for both Mindee and Emerald, a black pair and a blue pair, to match their shirts. We found a spot next to the walking trail and we were underway - even with a few people giving us looks as they walked or jogged by.This wasn't the first time these two have teamed up. Back in 2013, Mindee and Emerald shot three sets together when I rented out a hotel suite for the day. A couple of holiday sets came from those efforts, but what I remembered most about that day was the fun interactions these two good friends had. I couldn't wait to see it again on this day.Naturally, shooting this set got me the typical sass from Mindee. Emerald laughed at us since I'd often fire it right back at her. It certainly made an already fun shoot, that much more entertaining. Still, watching the interactions between Mindee and Emerald made this set just as amazing as those first three from years ago. When this set is published, you'll love seeing them each pulling off each other's socks and playing with the other's feet.Eventually all good things come to an end though. We shot the clip and headed back to the car. There was a ton of cloud cover moving in and I wanted to try and get in at least one set with Mindee solo before we went home.Driving back toward the area we live we made a stop at a 7-11 to get Mindee a Slurpee. Since it feels like Mindee has done every possible thing in a set at some point, pouring a Slurpee on them managed to be something "new." She loved the idea, although she knew it would be cold. Guess it was a good thing we did this one while it's still summer, here in August.

A guy living next to this park couldn't help but stare from his porch at this scene.

Luckily for us, there is a small park a few hundred feet from this 7-11, so that's where we went. A grouping of benches, behind some bushes, kept the busy road right on the other side out of the background. It also stopped everyone from looking at us on their way by. It didn't, however, stop the guy who locked himself out of his house on the other side of the park from literally staring at us at one point. Oh well, Mindee never cares who looks on while we shoot. Emerald just laughed and pointed out how obvious it was that he was hardcore staring. Guess he never saw a beautiful blonde, with heavenly size 8 feet, pour a Slurpee all over them? Well, now he, Emerald, I, and all of you now have. Don't you wish you had a slurp? Wonder if the guy on the porch did?When this messy set was finished, we had no choice to wrap things up for the day. The Slurpee turned Mindee's feet blue, so back home it was. It was probably for the better. Mindee and I are planning on catching up for a couple more shoots in the coming weeks. Emerald is also wanting to shoot again, especially with Mindee. I sure won't turn down the chance to do that again! Be on the lookout here on the Soles of Silk Blog and on the site's Instagram (@SolesofSilk).

A number of the Soles of Silk models have their very own Instagram and Twitter accounts where fans can reach them. Please feel free to let them know how much you enjoyed their work here, but above all else, please be respectful. If you don't see a model on the lists below, they do not have accounts set up to be reached. For those models, please forward any comments to the main Soles of Silk accounts.

Wu's Feet Links Feature Sets, Interviews, & Columns

Back in 2005, only a few short months after Soles of Silk debut, Carmen became the first model to represent the site as a Wu's Feet Links feature model. I was deeply honored that Wu would ask me to take part in this prestigious section on his site. What I didn't know, however, was that he'd ask me to do so over and over again - each time with different models from Soles of Silk. My models have always been flattered to be picked to do these sets and I've always made sure to do some of my best work with each and every one of them.

After Wu's passing in 2014, I made sure the feature section would be a top priority in rebooting his site - Olivia's "Back to Business" site saw the relaunch of that section. Below you will find each and every set ever to be featured on Wu's Feet Links from Soles of Silk. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

In addition to the feature sets, two more items I decided to reboot was the Interviews and Columns sections. With the success of blogs today, I decided it would be a wise move to take those sections and create blogs for each one. I moved over all the interviews and columns from the past and have since taken over conducting/writing both. Below you will also find any interviews and/or columns that predominately feature one of the Soles of Silk models. (Note: A couple of the interviews listed are with models who either run, or at one time, ran their own sites and/or clips stores. These models also posed for Soles of Silk, so I decided to feature them here as well.)
